Does anyone remember a show (either itv or channel 4) in early to mid 2000s with a similar storyline to skins.
A young girl makes friends with teenagers who are into drugs sex partying etc and she gets involved and ends up being worse than them.
Off the top of my head it was called something like ‘wonderland’ definitely -land at the end but I’m not 100%.
My sister and I watched it a lot we were 15/16 and trying to remember what it was called if any one knows as I can’t find a thing about it online!

This sounds like the book 'Junk', but I'm not sure if it was made into a telly series at all. Good luck!

MoonBabysMagicalKalimba · 28/03/2020 20:59

Yeah it sounds like Junk, it was made into a tv series.

It looks similar but it’s not the same one unfortunately thanks for replying

Neither of those either Sad I knew it would be hard to track down. My sister said it was on every weekend and it was a one off series.

Ifonly86 · 28/03/2020 21:41

It was British yes, none of the cast were well known from what I can remember but it was definitely on tv before skins

I'm intrigued now. What happened in it?

8dayweek · 28/03/2020 21:48

As in like, rough story line.

Ifonly86 · 28/03/2020 22:08

It’s hard to remember specifics from nearly 20 years ago but it was based on a girl becoming friends with the wrong crowd and peer pressured into drugs and sex etc, there was a horrible scene where she lost her virginity for drugs for the others. By the end she was basically running the ‘gang’ herself. It was popular at the time amongst girls I knew but didn’t hit it off well enough to be remembered as only me and my sister remember it! I recorded it on my vhs at the time Grin long gone now

Nearly famous?

chatnicknameyousuggested · 28/03/2020 22:35

Did she have sex against a wall? It was an awful scene, really upsetting. Then a girl was in hospital for attacking another girl maybe?

chatnicknameyousuggested · 28/03/2020 23:08

Pleasureland!

TKAAHUARTG · 28/03/2020 23:15

Wasn’t Pleasureland a film. But it does sound like it could be that. I had forgotten about that. Maybe the OP’s sister liked it so much they just watched it every weekend.

chatnicknameyousuggested · 28/03/2020 23:20

Yes but I'm sure it must be that.

Ifonly86 · 28/03/2020 23:24

Thanks everyone I’ve sent her the titles to watch so she can decide which one it was as she’s convinced it’s none of them! Pleasureland sounds the closest I’ll look it up and let you know Wine

Ifonly86 · 30/03/2020 17:01

It wasn’t pleasureland either sadly!
I remember another scene where the girl was driven out to a lake in the middle of no where by one of the drug dealers for sex I presume.
Is there a particular website you can use to search for programmes any particular channel has ever made/shown does anyone know? I’m willing to spend my isolation searching for this I can’t give up now Grin
